Being the fake girlfriend of a famous pop star? Anything but
Following her college graduation, with not a teaching job in sight, Kat Hamilton thinks she's hit the jackpot when she's hired on to pose as the fake girlfriend of Niall Horan, one-fifth of One Direction. One year of pretending to be in love with a guy that hates the sight of her won't be great for her ego, but it'll be worth it to pay off her student loans, right? At least he'll be forced to be nice to her in front of the cameras.
Reality and fiction start to blur, though, the more time that Kat and Niall are required to spend together. Kat's brain knows it's not real--heck, she's got the contract to prove it--but who's going to tell her heart that?
I'm sure you're thinking 'seriously, ANOTHER fake dating 1D story, doesn't the world have enough of those?' And the answer is, sure, probably. But I wanted one that combined all my fave tropes: fake dating (complete with THERE'S ONLY ONE BED!!!), enemies to friends to lovers, unrequited love, slow burn...and you know what they say, if you don't find the fic you want, write it yourself! So here it is.
